Wildfires have global health consequences
Air quality has deteriorated for millions of people due to wildfires in the Amazon, Canada, and Siberia, at least according to statements from international organizations that emphasize how fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than two and a half micrometers (PM2.5) is considered particularly harmful as it can penetrate deep into the lungs and cardiovascular system. Moreover air quality is also related to climate change and both factors should be considered together. The wildfire seasons are getting longer and releasing large amounts of smoke that knows no boundaries; for example, wildfires in Canada worsen air quality even in Europe. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on health-related themes that the health emergency of mpox (caused by the monkeypox virus) is no longer an emergency in Africa.

Plasticized and overheated Mediterranean
It is estimated that the equivalent of thirty-four thousand plastic bottles ends up in the Mediterranean Sea every minute, making it possibly the most polluted sea in the world. This plastic which becomes microplastic is said to resemble a soup with unprecedented levels of pollution (it seems that Corsica is particularly polluted) devastating both human and marine life. Another issue is the overheating with tropical fish having crossed through the Suez Canal which are now increasingly spotted and marine heatwaves becoming more frequent with temperatures four degrees Celsius above the averages and with unusual durations. Changing the subject but still on natural topics it is noteworthy that the death toll of the recent earthquake in Afghanistan has risen to two thousand two hundred with over three thousand six hundred injured, particularly affecting Kunar province.

Unstable equilibrium with artificial intelligence
It was said that the AI sector needed to be regulated and brought under control, but apparently it continues to grow at a rapid pace with models that some even define as "Machiavellian" in their ability to manipulate minds, and with a future that seems increasingly difficult to balance with artificial intelligence. The machine is able to simulate having a sort of consciousness or perhaps it is the person who tends to give it a personality, posing a danger to society that these artificial models could have emotions; then one might think that they need rights attributed to humans and animals, even to have emotional dependencies. For example one must be careful not to be deceived by persuasive language that simulates a varied personality, which recalls giving a sense of reality while also exploiting artistic abilities.

Over a million hectares burned in Europe
It is estimated that over a million hectares of vegetation-covered land have gone up in smoke in Europe this year due to wildfires, an area figuratively larger than Cyprus and the largest since monitoring of such data began in 2006. Spain and Portugal have been the most affected countries accounting for about two-thirds of the total, with ongoing wildfires still reported in Spain; the country also recorded sixteen days of record temperatures that fueled the blazes. To report shifting focus to Japan that with ten days of temperatures of thirty-five degrees Celsius and above in Tokyo have marked an unhealthy record for the great metropolis, while a heat wave is also affecting British Columbia in Canada and particularly the town of Lytton and the community of Fraser Canyon with record temperatures.
